Archetypal Valentine

That there was only a father
who had no son or daughter
was the first story he told us
about a god who lived alone
behind all things but who
secretly wanted a child
which was the second story
he told himself before us
before conceiving a way
for it to happen in the wilds
of the material world
but now how far out of hand
this whole thing has gotten
since that day he was begotten
